Write Me Back - Album Discussion

This is a discussion on Write Me Back - Album Discussion within the R. Kelly Music Chat forums, part of the R. Kelly Discussion category; I agree a 100% this is a GREAT Album.I picked up 4 deluxe copies for me (3 for vehicles and ...

this album is a masterpeice. this might be the best production of his career in terms of quality and level of difficulty. almost every song features live brass, strings, and mutliple layers of different instruments. his vocals are perfect. every songs is magical, i think the bonus songs are incredible. beautiful in this mirror and one step closer are two of my favorites. fallin from the sky is so much better with out auto tone. you are my world is so well done, what a great tribute to mj. i bought 5 copies. the two best buys i was at yesterday were only had 4 or 5 copies left, and was selling real well, i wouldnt be suprised if they were sold out by now. the average customer rating based on reviews on amazon is 4.7 outta 5.

Got my copy today! The album dropped here the same day as it did in the States.

Not so lucky in Taiwan. There doesn't even seem to be a release scheduled that I can see so far. Usher's album only took a week to release, so I may be able to buy a copy of Write Me Back locally in a week or two. I had to get an over-priced copy shipped from Japan just to get it on the release date; they do overnight shipping to Taiwan.

Umm

The numbers are not good I agree, but please give me the real reason why? But the writers has given him great raves, but his fans are not showing him love at the cash registers or Amazon/ Itunes...I'm confused

The fans are showing love but it takes more than that. This album needed to be marketed to the average non-fan who just likes good music. People dont know this album came out. The numbers could have been great. But unless you're an R.Kelly fan and you actually keep up with his whereabouts you have no idea whats going on. We already know he's a pretty quiet and private guy, but that works against him when its time to release an album because no one ever hears from him.
